Don't try to tell me what to say...

So here's something...

I've always been a fan of the dry, sarcastic, tough, bad-a girl in tv and movies. For some random unknown reason- she's the girl I always chose as my character in movies. I identify with the outcasts. Andie in Pretty in Pink. Sloane (Kat Dennings) in Raise your Voice. Maybe it's because they're "brooding artists". Let's be serious for a minute. I'm not brooding. I'm not sarcastic. I'm not grumpy. I'm the farthest thing from being tough. I'm a big old softy mc-softerson. Why do I love the sarcastic people? Perhaps it's because I'm the opposite and it's a quality I wish I had... moving on.

And... the fabricated Avril Lavigne. The Avril from Let Go and Under My Skin. After that... it was a fast downhill battle. For shame for shame. What is with that "Didn't steal your boyfriend" nonsense?

These are pages from my quasi journal from 2003-2006. As you can see, I was slightly obsessed. I went through a punk-rawk phase. I was all about wearing black and wrist bands. And truth be told - Sk8er boi will always remind me of my husband...

Haha - I love your journal! Isn't it funny the people we choose to identify with? When my secret dream was to be an actress, I always wanted to play the high-maintenance, over-the-top, drama queens. I guess maybe because it was so far from my actual personality?
